I hope Tri Ace is working on this, like how they did outsourcing for, and co-developed, Final Fantasy XIII-2. The only Square game in recent times to come in on time and on budget. I don't want this to come out in 2019, y'know?
Also, these games have traditionally had horrible, depth free, Dynasty Warriors-level combat. Just button mashy messes. The developer of Star Ocean could make a better battle system blindfolded than "Team Nomura". They can also write a less impenetrable, nonsensical story. And incorporate actual RPG mechanics like quest threads, NPCs and armor pieces that - when you equip it - actually show up on your character model.
So I hope Square is working with another developer on this. So, y'know, it'll actually be GOOD. Unlike the last Kingdom Hearts games...

Just so people know the town is Trvers Town from a few of the kingdoms hearts games. The shadowy enemies are one of the main enemis called heartless the ones he is fighting are call shadows. Just to help people out with where sora is and who is fighting. I so cant wait for this game it has been a long time since theres numbered game.

I'm sorry, but I have to explain "a colorful city environment before taking his keyblade to a swarm of shadowy enemies." Sora is actually in Twilight Town, one of the first places you visit in KH2 and he's attacking a swarm of Heartless.
